Ilana Glazer and Abbi Jacobson, the duo behind “Broad City,” are looking more mature than their alter-egos on the Comedy Central series.

Sitting down to talk about the fourth season of the show – which includes the duo’s reaction to living in the Trump era – Glazer is in a smart black summery dress and Jacobson wears a black blouse paired with a maroon skirt that would be well-suited for a business meeting.

Glazer says she feels things are changing for the better for women comedians. “People once wondered if women were funny. That literally used to be a question.”

On the show, best friends Abbi Abrams and Ilana Wexler are now reaching their late 20s, a few years younger than their real-life counterparts. They are still smoking weed and are always financially scrambling. Abbi is a struggling artist who takes commercial jobs to make ends meet. Iliana has less defined ambitions and more schemes, which she usually drags Abbi into. Iliana is also more sexually adventurous than her friend. They don’t live together, which allows for separate adventures.

This season, the characters are dealing with getting older and facing grown-up situations, along with feeling…
